         - Quick review about the minimal draft at the beginning since used
         for interop part of plugfest
         - Then people will present what they will demo later
         - Then tools speech
         - Then multiple tables forming islands to make some interop tests
         - 30 min before ending, wrap up slides to present at the WG
         meeting and brainstorms to improve what we have
         - This is already visible in the plugfest page
            - https://bitbucket.org/6tisch/meetings/wiki/plugfest
         - Around 15 implementers confirmed so far.
         - Thomas: we have pretty large space. We have time to see how the
         room is
         - *[Pascal]* People with hardware could come 15-30 minutes in
         advance to position their hardware.
         - *[Thomas]* Yes, we should make sure room open a bit before,
         allowing people to get installed.
      - overview participants
         - *[Xavi]* *Pere Tuset* from Universitat Oberta de Catalunya,
         continuing work on SOC based on TI micro-controller. Will
start plugfest
         with 1-hop test, then multihop (RPL).
         - *[Nicola]* Will show practical scenarios of DeTAS in various
         topologies, star, binary tree.
         - *[Thomas E.]* will show OpenWSN/RIOT integration. OpenWSN stack
         with RIOT scheduler.
         - *[Thomas W., Pascal]*
            - Joint demo with Backbone Router from Cisco and SmartMesh IP
            network from Linear Technology (Dust Networks)
            - *Thomas* gives an overview of the devices that they will be
            showing.
               - IE3000 Cisco industrial switch implementing
               draft-thubert-6lowpan-backbone-router-03 and 6LoWPAN ND.
               - SmartMesh IP mesh network
            - A "bridge" device will connect the SmartNesh IP kit with the
            Cisco switch
            - The bridge will do 6LoWPAN compression and ND (send NS+ARO).
            Cisco handle ND registrations and sends back NA+ARO.
            - The demo shows that with a very simple interface, a
            collection of devices can be connected to an industrial switch.
            - Possibility to extend to multiple switches, all motes on
            single IPv6 subnet.
            - The motes are like any other host in the Internet thanks to
            the ND proxying the CISCO switch is doing, and the 6LoWPAN
support of
            SmartMesh IP.
            - Will try to place switch to the IETF network and turn on/off
            a LED on a mote through the IETF network (if allowed by
IETF network admin)
         - *[Tengfei]* Visitin student researcher from University of
         Science and Technology Beijing at UC Berkeley. Will show
OpenWSN running on
         different platforms (TelosB, GINA, OpenMoteSTM). Implements
minimal 6TiSCH
         draft. Currently working on getting all the platforms to work reliably
         (especially synchronization).
         - *[Thomas]* Plugfest is open to all, you don't need to bring
         hardware to attend. Part of IETF meeting, so you need to
register to IETF
         to be allowed to attend, and the IETF note well applies.
         - *[Pascal]* Expect the initial presentations useful to many. Will
         advertise plugfest at 6lo and 6man.
      - *[08.30]* IETF89
      - final agenda
         - due this Monday
      - security discussion
         - 20 min discussion on security. Walk through to the security
         requirements. Authorize PCE.
         - Make clear what is the objective of Michael's work.
         - *[Pascal]* Use the security call on Monday to review that?
         - *[Michael R.]* Yes, thanks.
         - *[Thomas]* submit final agenda on monday. need to know if the
         presentation will be based on a draft that will be submitted soon,
         - *[Michael R.]* Yes, will submit the draft on IETF Monday.
      - *[Michael R.]* Will coordinate with Michael B. for order of the
      presentation in the security slot (a priori 10min each).
      - skeleton slides London
         - template slides in slideset of today's call.
            - title: draft-xxx
            - authors list.
            - give status
            - give changes since IETF88
            - Bitbucket has a master set of slides.
            - *[Thomas]* Maria Rita already made her slides. Following the
            template. Thanks!
            - The merge is done by Pascal and Thomas (only send slides to
            them). Commit the slides as separate files and they will
be merged at the
            last minute
         - *[08.45]* use cases and ToS bits
      - forwarding bits at L2.
      - Normal track operation: a packet comes in and is forwarded to the
      right neighbor.
      - Opportunistic track reuse: if an empty slot is detected, this can
      be reused to forward another packet through another track.
      - Similar work at AVB group on IEEE.
      - Looking for flow identifiers that can work at both L2 and L3.
      - 6TiSCH is using GMPLS, i.e. the label is elided as it is mapped to
      a in-cell and out-cell.
      - The goal is to agree on a label that can be placed in the packet
      and it is universal.
      - For example, people have proposed to use multicast MAC addresses
      that map one to one to an MPLS label.
   - *[08.56]* AOB *[1min]*
      - *[Thomas]* Do we have call next friday?
      - *[Pascal]* Let's aintain the call with the objective to go through
      the slides.

      Action item: *Presenters* to send IETF89 slides to chairs by next
      call.

      - *[09.00]* Meeting ends
